Actually connecting to testing server makes display buggy (client data)?
Char sprites display as "Error". Cursor issues, no map, no monster sprites, Particles display wrongly....

There was a problem with the client-updates. tux9th applied a temporary fix, so it should work for now, and later we have to fix it properly.

Considering the big amount of server changes currently, I agree that this is something worth to consider.

But I *want* wide exposure ... otherwise people testing content won't hit the code bugs.

Fixed a bug with #chipchip spell. The bug was actually in the data repository, merely exposed by the server.

As a result, at the world menu, only the "Stable Server" is fixed, the "Testing Server" is still running bad data as it must be upgraded manually rather than automatically.

Made another change, not a bugfix - the first of 3 in atcommands, mostly just to make later changes easier. Handling of unknown commands is slightly different, everything else should be the same I think.

Probably fixed the regen-is-always-the-minimum issue.

Got a crash related to crossing the 50% overweight boundary (I was actually investigating that when I found the cause of the other bug).

No more known bugs!

Please try very hard to break the test server so we can put this code on the main server.
